At a meeting of a portion of the citi- zcitfl of Baldwin county on Saturday last, a cavalry company for the defence of our homes was organized. M. B. Talbird was elected Captain, It. A. McComb, 1st I.ieut* J. A. Jordan 2nd I.ieut. About fort}' names were enrolled for an Infantry company, but the election of of ficers was postponed to Saturday next, when it is expected that every man with two feet out of the grave will come for ward and join one, or tbe other, of these companies. In our next paper we will publish tbe roll of these companies. Our brave sol diers who arc sacrificing everything dear to themselves—who are marchingin rain and sleeping in mud—can then see who are the men at home who are ready to pro tect their aged parents, their wives ,«nd L;tie ones, and their sisters, against the ruthless invader. Let no man expect to escape. The time lias come to try men’s soi.Is; and those who stand hack will he maiked with a brand that time can never efface. ’I nr on, Au^U'tn. Atlanta nail i olct nthu*. These are all important Cities—not so much on account of size and population, as on account of valuable property—indispen sable property—of the Confederate States located at each of them. Arc they prop- crlv guarded at this time? Could not a battalion of Cavalry enter and destroy ci ther of them ? llow long will they he per mitted to remain in their present defence- 1-ss condition ? It is for the citizens of these places to answer. Mark the fate of Jackson, and be ready to avoid the lamen table consequences that bcfel that beauti ful and unfortunate City. Not alone is public property in danger. The enemy destroyed everything they could put their hands on in Jackson, and plundered indis- c ,minutely. In each of these cities there t alii he at least one Infantry, ono Cavol- rv, and one Artillery Company, composed of Youths under eighteen, exempts, and me.i who have been discharged from the service. Men of wealth an 1 influence s’i mid give their money liberally, and de vote their time to the organization of these Military Companies. The Confederate and State Governments should co-operate with the City authorities in this important work of preparation for resisting invasion. The State Road, and its property in the City of Atlanta, is enough of itself to au thorise the Governor to keep a force of sev eral thousand men along its track. Let the Mayors of the above named Cities call out. the citizens and enroll them without cldav. If there are any who stand hack, and refuse to respond to the call, let them he driven out of the corporate limits by Martial law, or any law that will reaoh their dastardly, souls. This whole country must be one vast camp before many months roll over our heads. The 6ooner we get ready the better for ns and the country in the cud. Wh'j wc kit If the reader is curious to know who our brave, boys ate lighting in this most cruel of cruel wars, let him take a Richmond pa- p r and look over the list of prisoners who a; e almost daily received for admission to the prisons, or who arc paroled, and he will j-oe an almost interminable string of O’Ri leys, Ponjatowskis, Doudermcitzens, and Renlcddis. This miserable Irish, l’olisli, Butch and Italian crew are sent down among us to kill and plunder at the rate of three crackers and a half pound of salt >':■ at a day, and 8 15.00 per month. They are imported every week, from Europe, by tha hundreds, and nswon a. they land are v li off to the Army. The real, genuine, Yankee is too smart to get caught by Lin ton’s enrolling officers. Here and there one may he found in the Army, hut he is certain to get where there is no chance for a bullet to reach bis precious carcase.

Seymrur, in a letter in the Vallandigham sympathisers’ meeting, at Albany, N. Y., says the arrest of Yaliandigham has brought dishonor upon the country. If the proceedings are approved by the Government and sanct ioned by the people, it is not merely a step to revolution, hut it is revolution.— We pause to see what kind of a Govern ment for which we are asked to pour out our blood and treasure. The action of the administration will determine in the minds of more than half the people of the loyal Stales, whether this war is waged to put down.the rebellion in the South, or to destroy the free institutions ot the. North. We look for its decision with solemn solicitude.

J The Conscription Law—and the ®300 Clause. It will be seen fr^pi the following News front the North, that the Y'ankee Government believes it will get no men if it allows every man subject to Conscription to buy out at 5300. They make a law one day, and set it aside the next. There can be no law among such a people. LATEST NEWS FROM THE NORTH. Fkedekicksulkg, May l’Jtli, lbt53. New York dates of the IGth instant have been received at Richmond, and afford the following intelligence from the United States : The New Y'ork Times has a special telegram from Washington respecting the conscription law, which the United States Government plainly perceives will be practically defeated by the pro viso admitting the payment of S-300, to be a discharge from military service. “Washington,May 15th.—The ISth section of the conscription law has to day received an interpretation, and sub stantially » war-like adjudication. On the representation ot iniiucuti»i »u;7 U n 8 of Illinois, that the acceptance of S300 from drafted men, in lieu ot strrviee throughout the West would degenerate the enrollment measure, and defeat lhe intent to rttise an army. Secretary Stanton is understood to have decided that the section is permissive, and not mandatory; that it is optional with him whether to receive the .money or reject it ; that lie is not a national treasurer; tfiat he gives no bond for the safe keeping of money ; lias no financial officers under hinr; has no means of enforcing security for the im mense sums his subordinates would re ceive on this commutation of military service, and lias no time to go into the business of hunting up substitutes. So licitor Whiting, of 1 lie War Depart ment, concurs in these views. The President also concurs in their legality and policy. Thc clause of the uct%el- ling exemptions at $300, therefore,will be practically ignored. Conscripts will either be left to bunt up substi tutes at their own price, or an equal number of volunteers wilt l>e called lor, at the time the draft is ordered, to be accepted as substitutes for drafted men. and to receive a Government bounty of SJOO, and the conscripts exemption price at thc same time. Any way, the enrollment law will not be a revenue measure, but a war measure ” The subject of another telegram to the same paper is the statement of J. B. Gilfeather, a deserter, from the 3d Alabama regiment, Rhode’s brigade, who states that the divisions of Hood and Pickett have arrived from the ed. Black water since the recent battles,and OnSunday the Federals advanced to j try within our reach, but thanks to the Yankee horses and the tired condition of our men, they literally outran us, and caarried it off.
